Krazy Katieness: Glad you Like it. Here it is!

Iceshadow911247: That's what my friends do that to me when they try to snap me out of a day dream. It happens a lot. They are all blind, but they don't know that. First and Second Squad do fight, a lot. And that's sort of a sub-plot for this chapter. Kin isn't the kind of make-over girl, but she was forced to do it.

Ok, this is for ice wolf.

Kin's POV. The next day…

I awoke to the sound of a knocking at my door. I lifted my head groggily and checked the time on the Peacock Clock.

10:03:56 AM.

"Woah. It's not like me to sleep in." I said. Another knock.

"Coming." I opened the door to find Woo standing there with a glass and some plants in his hands.

"May I help you?" I smiled

"I believe I have a remedy to your wounds. May I come in?" Woo asked. I nodded.

"What do I have to do?" I took a seat on my bed. Woo mixed the ground up plants in the cup with some hot water. He handed it to me.

"If you drink this, your wounds will be gone within 6-8 hours time." Woo said. I shrugged and took a sip.

I had to restrain myself from spitting it out. Instead, I just swallowed my little sip.

"Finished…" I said weakly.

"Kin, you must drink it all if you want it to work." Woo said. I sighed in defeat, plugged my nose, and chugged the entire glass down.

"There, that wasn't so bad now was it?" Woo took the glass from me.

"It tasted like dirt with worm barf mixed in! And don't ask how I know that." I said

"They're still serving breakfast in the mess hall." Woo said

"Thanks, Woo. I owe you." I smiled.

-Mess Hall-

I put a bowl of fruit and a plate of dumplings on my plate. I was just about to reach for some berry juice when:

"I don't know what First Squad's problem is!" Kow-Loon groaned

"They just got big heads, that's all." Alpha Girl said

"Yeah… but who has the biggest head?" Archer Lee asked.

I hid behind a cooler they keep; something tells me I'm not supposed to hear any of this.

"I'd like to show those First Squad losers who the better warrior is." Muscle Lee said

"But they had to go to Panther Castle. I just wish for once, Second Squad could prove their worth." Goldeneye sighed.

I was a tad bit mad at them for insulting my friends, but I knew they had a fair argument. First Squad got all the big battles and Second Squad barely got anything.

"If you want, you can take that to your room and eat it if you wish." I turned to see Egret King.

"Thank You." I slip silently out of the mess hall without any of Second Squad noticing.

Later that day…

First Squad still wasn't back yet, so I was just wondering around Big Green.

"What to do? What to do? What to do now?" I said to myself.

I then heard a voice in another room.

"Now what to paint?" I recognized it as Camel King's voice. I smiled and knocked on the door.

He smiled when he saw me.

"Well if it isn't Kin the Wolf Queen. To what do I owe this pleasure?" Camel King asked.

"I'm just wondering around. I heard you and I figured I'd say hi. Hi!" I smiled

"Hi! Hmm… Do you think you could do me a favor?" Camel King asked

"Of course! What is it?" I asked

"I need a new model for a new painting. Would you mind?" Camel King asked

"I wouldn't mind at all."Camel King led me into his room. I spotted a beautiful blue flower in the center of the room.

"This is really pretty." I smiled as I picked it up and looked at it.

"Hold that pose! It's perfect." Camel King told me as he began to paint me.

It was quite for a few minutes. Then a thought came to me.

"Camel King?" I started

"Yes, what is it?"Camel King didn't look up from his painting.

"Why are First and Second Squad always arguing?" I asked

"Second Squad is always trying to prove that they're better than First Squad. First Squad claims that they're better in every way. It's on going." Camel King said.

I nodded my head.

"Would you like to see the painting?" Camel King asked

"You're finished! Already? I've never known anyone who can paint that quickly." I said in amazement.

"Lin Chung can paint beautiful paintings in a very short time." Camel King said with just a small hint of jealousy. I walked over to him.

"Wow! Camel King this is beautiful!" I said in awe. He painted me in black and white, except for the flower, my eyes, and my hair.

"Why did you pain everything but the flower, my eyes, and my hair in black and white?" I asked curiously.

"To show the beholder of the art points of interest in the art. You paint the things that pop out at you." Camel King explained. "For example, the flowers blue hue, and your forest green eyes, and the golden hair of yours. They seemed to stand out to me." I blushed slightly at the compliment.

"It looks beautiful." I told him.

"Would you like to have it? Seeing as though you like it so much." Camel King asked me.

"I couldn't. You should keep it. It is your painting after all." I told him.

"I insist upon it. Take it as a token of my thanks. I won't take no for an answer." Camel King insisted. I sighed in defeat but smiled.

"Ok. I think I'll go show First Squad. Your newest work." I said. Camel King thanked me once again for being his model and I left for the First Squad briefing room.

First Squad briefing room…

I stepped in the briefing room to find it empty.

"Hello! Anyone here? Hello?" I was greeted by silence.

"Maybe I'll go swimming…" Then, a metal statue of Commander Apetrully popped out of the table.

"Kin! First Squad and I need your help! Come to Panther Castle as soon as you possibly can!" Commander Apetrully said. Then, the statue disappeared into the table.

"I can't go alone! The panthers are some of the best warriors in all of Hidden Kingdom!" Then a brilliant idea. "But I know a group of people who could help me." I said slyly.

Second Squad Briefing Room…

I didn't bother knocking. They were all just sitting around.

"Kin, can we help you?" Alpha Girl asked

"First Squad and Commander Apetrully have been captured by the Panthers and I need your help to rescue them." I said.

"Why should we help you rescue First Squad?" Kow-Loon asked

"They're the mighty First Squad. They should be able to break free all by themselves." Archer Lee said. I knew they would disagree at First. But I never give up that easily.

"Ok, I get it. First Squad can be a bit arrogant some times and you guys should be given a chance." This gets their attention. "And right now, I'm giving you that chance! I bet saving the all mighty First Squad would gain you all a lot of respect. But, if you guys don't want to help me… I understand." I leave the briefing room with a small smirk

"3… 2… 1…"I think to myself.

"What do you want us to so?" I turned to see Alpha Girl and the rest of Second Squad behind me, looking very eager.

"Ok, Panther King is a master of fighting and deceit. He is known for using his enemies temper against them-"I explain

"Well that might explain how Mighty Ray got caught." Muscle Lee said

"And after yesterday's little incident-"Second Squad smiled sheepishly. "I'll do all the talking. Understood?" They all nodded. "Ok, let's go save First Squad." I smile

Panther Castle…

Second Squad and I were hiding in a tree not too far from Panther Castle.

"You see them anywhere?" Kow-Loon asked me.

I spotted First Squad and Commander Apetrully tied against the trunk of an old but sturdy tree. Panther were guarding them. I glanced at the front gate. Two menacing panther were guarding it.

"I do… but we need to knock out those two guards without making any sounds." I told them.

"These nuts should be able to do the trick. But how are we gonna throw them that hard?" Alpha Girl handed me two very hard nuts. I spotted something above Goldeneye.

"Goldeneye, hand me that vine that's above you." He nodded and broke off a foot long string of it.

"What are you gonna do with a vine and some nuts." Muscle Lee asked. I broke off a 'Y' shaped branch and tied the vine around it. I presented my sling-shot.

"Smart." Alpha Girl praised me.

"Know what?" The guys looked at me in a confused manner. Alpha Girl raised a brow.

"Watch and Learn, boys." I smiled as I climbed a bit higher into the tree. When I found a good clearing in the leaves that had a good shot of the Panthers, and fired the two nuts.

The Panthers fell to the ground unconscious. We all jumped out of the tree.

"Smart move." Alpha Girl commented.

"Thanks. Now remember, we have to act calm and diligent. While Panther King uses his foes temper to his advantage, he has one of his own." I told them.

"And you're going to use that to your advantage, aren't you?" Kow-Loon asked slyly.

"Aren't you smart." I laughed as we walked into Panther Castle

"Forget it Apetrully, your little rescue party isn't coming to the rescue." Panther King, a lean black panther, spoke in perfect human.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that." I said. Panther King whipped around to face us. First Squad and Commander Apetrully smiled in relief. Panther King smirked deviously.

"Remember; let me do all the talking." I whispered to Second Squad as Panther King made his way over here.

"How did you all get pass my guards?" Panther King perched himself on a tree branch in front of us.

"Isn't the greatest luck? They seemed to have… fallen asleep on the job. So we just walked right in!" I said with fake happiness while Second Squad snickered.

"Very Well. I will accept your surrender now." Panther King said

"I was about to make you the same offer, your highness." I smirked. He raised his brow.

"An opponent who observes her opponents before striking? You must be the wolf queen, Kin. I've heard of your… accomplishments. I must say you have proven to be quite a soldier." Panther King praised.

"I've heard none the less about you, sir." I nod.

"It's too bad that you don't have what it takes to save your friends." Panther King yawns. This makes my blood boil a bit. I never liked it when someone underestimates me. But he fell into my trap, so I remained emotionless.

"It's too bad that you don't have what it takes to stop us." Panther King glares while I just smirk.

"Do you know where you are?" Panther King stands up.

"Panther Castle. The palace with the best security." I tease further. Second Squad, First Squad, Commander, and a few of the Panthers snicker at my comment.

"If you're looking for a fight, I'm sorry to disappoint you; but I don't fight little girls." The words sting me a bit; I make direct eye contact with Panther King and smirk.

"Neither do I. "Panther King's rage becomes evident as everyone, but me and him, in the palace laughs.

"What do you want?" Panther King sneers.

"Look, we'll make this easy on you. We're-" I gesture to Second Squad. "Going to let are friends go and go back to Big Green. And you can't stop us." I start to walk over to First Squad. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

"Kin! Look-" Alpha Girl cries but before she can finish; I do a high back flip over Panther King, who attempted to sneak attack me, and landed gracefully on my feet. I grabbed Panther King's tail and pull on it. Then, I grabbed him by the head and flipped him. He landed on the ground with a hard smack. He groaned in pain.

"Out." Alpha Girl chocked out. There was a moment of silence.

"Huh. Would you look at that, I guess I do fight little girls." I tease Panther King.

"Want our help freeing First Squad?" Archer Lee asked.

"It would be appreciated." I said. I didn't even take one step when something grabs my ankle, and I land face first on the ground. I glance back to see Second Squad surrounded by Panthers. Looking ready to fight, but are waiting for my "Go" signal.

"Do you think you can just waltz in to my palace and make me look like a fool in front of my own people?" Panther King hisses at me.

"She doesn't think… She did." Kow-Loon smirks and I laugh.

"What are you trying to prove here, exactly?" Panther King Growls.

"Nothing! We just want are friends to be released!" Goldeneye says

Panther King smirks.

"I'll release your friends…" Second Squad and I smile. "If one of you can beat me in a completion." Panther King said

I glance at Second Squad and shrug.

1 minute later…

Second Squad, Panther King, and I were at the starting line of an obstacle course.

"Mind explaining the rules?" Muscle Lee said

"It's simple; First you all must make your way through the tunnel, swing across the vines, swim through the cold pool, and whoever makes it to the top of that tree first… wins." I glanced up at the tree.

"That is one tall tree." Kow-Loon remarked. I glanced over at Muscle Lee's tunnel, it didn't look big enough.

"On your mark…"We all prepare ourselves. "Get set…. GO!" We all charged at our respective tunnels.

"Ok… this is just humiliating!" Muscle Lee said. I guess I was right. Before I jumped into my tunnel, I could see he only managed to get his head in. So only me, Panther King, Alpha Girl, Kow-Loon, Goldeneye, and Archer Lee made it to the vine swing.

Panther King snapped his finger before he started to swing. About halfway through, I notice a dark grey panther not too far from Archer Lee. Before I could register what happened, the panther cut Archer's vine and he went falling.

"Guys! The Panthers are cheating! Watch your backs!" I called to the others.

"Got it!" Goldeneye calls back.

Pretty soon, Goldeneye, Alpha Girl, Kow-Loon, Panther King, and I reach the swimming section. Panther King takes the lead. Goldeneye frowns

"C'mon Goldeneye, let's get him!" Alpha Girl said

"Did I ever mention I don't know how to swim?" Goldeneye asked

"Seriously?" Kow-Loon asked

"No time! We have to catch up!" I shout as I dive in. The water is freezing! But Kow-Loon, Alpha Girl and I power through it and soon catch up to Panther King.

"Nice trick you pulled at the vine swing." I tell him as we pass him.

"Not that easily!" Panther King shoves me underwater and passes me.

"You ok?" Alpha Girl asks. I see Panther King start to climb the tree.

"I'm not losing to that jerk!" I climb onto land and begin to climb the tree with Kow-Loon and Alpha Girl at my tail. We soon pass Panther King who looks on in shock and anger. He swipes at the branch Kow-Loon is perched on.

He plummets to the grounds

"KOW-LOON!" Alpha Girl and I cry. Panther King passes us.

"See you at the top, ladies!" Panther King called us down teasingly. Alpha Girl and I exchange glances before we start to hop from branch to branch at a fast speed. Soon passing Panther King and leaving him behind.

"See you at the top, your majesty!" I call down to him in the same tone.

"I can see the top!" Alpha Girl shouts down to me. She's about two branches above me. Then, the branch she's standing on gives way. I grab onto her and managed to grab onto the branch above me,.

"Here comes Panther King!" Alpha Girl said. He'll certainly swipe us both down for sure. I glance up, a clear shot to the top.

"Alpha Girl," I started

"Yeah?"She asks

"Enjoy the view!" Before she can protest, I toss her up to the top. She lands on the highest branch. I smile, then, Panther King Swipes at my branch and I'm sent falling. But before I land on the ground, I smack against a few dozen branches. I land on the ground with an unbelievably hard thud. Everyone winces at I hit the ground.

"Kin! Are you ok?" Kow-Loon is first by my side.

"My body's sad."I groan. He raises his brow.

Soon, Alpha Girl and Panther King are on the ground. Alpha Girl looks at me.

"What happened?" Alpha Girl asks.

"I can't feel my feet." I groan.

"Sorry." Panther King turns to his subjects. "Release First Squad and the man with the odd shaped head." They nod and cut loose First Squad and Commander. Soon, Lin Chung is by my side.

"You need some help standing up?" Lin Chung asks.

"I think I'll stay here on the ground." I said.

"Alpha Girl's amazing skills today have proven to me, that humans are just as good of warriors as the Panthers." Panther King said

"You bet we are!" Mighty Ray said

"Hey, Guess what?" I ask him

"What?"

"Shut Up!" He glares at me.

"In honor of Alpha Girl's victory, I would like to join Big Green." Panther King said

"But, it was Kin's plan that got me to the top. Right Kin?" Alpha Girl asked

"Stop being so modest, Alpha Girl. Your plan was brilliant! You and Second Squad truly are great warriors." I wink at her. But no one except her and Second Squad notices.

"Well done Second Squad. Well done." Commander praises Second Squad.

They smile as they finally receive the respect they deserve.

Later that day…

Turns out, I only sprained my left arm and right ankle. Everything else was just badly bruised. I sat atop Big Green. Watching the sunset. I heard someone walking up behind me.

"How are you feeling?" Lin Chung asks me.

"Sore and Tired." I laugh.

"I understand why." Lin Chung says.

"That's good." He takes a seat by me.

"Camel King is an amazing artist don't you think?" Lin Chung hands me Camel King's painting of me.

"Woah! I forgot all about this!" I said in amazement

"It's a good painting of you." Lin Chung says. I blush slightly.

"You think so?" I smile. He nods. "You can have it if you want. I don't really want it." I hand it to him.

"Wow… thanks."

"You're Welcome." We just sit in silence for awhile.

"So, given any thought of joining Big Green?" Lin Chung asks me. I smile.

"Think there might be any room on First Squad for me?" I ask him. He laughs.

"I believe there might just be enough room." Lin Chung said.
